An Exploring Party Breaks Into the Sa-
naimo Mine-Dead Bodies Found in All
Directions.
NANAlMU, B. c., May THE exploring
party that went down Yesterday morning
broke through into the mine and discov-
cred the dead lying in all directions. All
hope is now given up of saving any of
them. Thirty five bodies were recovered
from the mine. The fire is still burning,
but is Under control. The mine is owned
by the Vancouver Coal Company, of Lon
don. England. The latest investiga-
tion shows that 101 whites and eighty
five Chinese were i'll the mine at the
time of the explosion, At two o'clock the
body of Michael Lyons was found on level
No /, 10J yards from the hosting shaft.
He was mule driver about eighteen years
old. and was found at his station, near
dead mule. The corpse was taken to Il
school house where he lies, terribly burned
al out the face and breast. His face is
bl eek from the effects of the gas. His
ia, her is still in the mine, \ cave-in evil
de ltly occurred just beyond where he was
lyilg. After the strIctest inquiry it is
learned that there are forty seven widows,
most of whom have large families. The
Cinnamon met last night and made ar
rangementS for burying their country
men. Some of them refused TO place
the dead in collins and had to be compelled
TO do so. The stores still continue 10 be
closed and little business Is being done
Most of the men are from Cornwall, York
shire and Wales, and few are from Nova
Scotia. The fearful character of the eX-
plosion can net be exaggerated. Over l3J
children orphans have already been count
ed. The progress of subduing the flames is
proceeding rapidly and it is thought that
all danger Of a second explosion is over.

fiocks Of sheep which are cared for by
herders who follow their fiocks day and
night unseen by the owners for weeks al ~

q large sheep raiser, rode over the
plains TO inspect his hocKs, reaching
the Mesa at 3:O p ~, and climbed to
the top Of high rock 10 scan the country
in search Of his herdcr5. At that moment
the sky become overcast; low rumbhng
sound seemed to approach from the south
west. and then a slight trembie shook the
rock upon which he was perched. followed
immed ately by a loud report and severe
shocks which made the rock sway To and
fro like a ship at sea. He was overcome by
a deadly sickness which almost caused hum
to fall from the rock. Recovering, ne
started by the path he had climbed, but
found the rock had been rent in twain,
leaving fssure ten feet wide,
which accounted for the report he
mad heard He managed to regain the
ground. and rcmountng his horse rode rap
idly in search of his herders. GOuzdies
found some of the sheep scattered and bleat-
ing with fright. but no herdcrs were in
sight A short distance further on he was
Mortified by finding the body Of one Of the
men stretched upon the ground dead. The
other two he found mile away, both de d,

injury Of any kind, and they were scare j.

bic theory that could be formed as to the
cause of their death was that the extreme
fright caused by the terrible cOnyulsions Of
the elements. which he himself had wit
messed, had killed the three men at the
same moment. The expressions of their
faces, which bore the impress Of fright and
terror, sustained this theory, and 1t IS be-
lieved that these three men were perhaps
the only human victims Of the great south
western earthquake.

New ORLEANS, May Jefferson Davis
has written a review of General Wolseley's
Life of General Lee,' and it will be
printed in tomorrow mornings papers.
He takes exception to many Of the English
Generals statements, and, while not iind-
ing fault with the superlatiye opinion OF
General Lees military ability expressed in
the book, he shows very plainly that he
considers General Wolseley's criticisms of
other Southern leaders unjust and Unwar-
rantable. The review Is written in very
caustic style, and contains interesting ma
ter in the way Of estimates of the relative
value of the services of the Confeder .te
leaders.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR CRISIS.
Increasing Difficulties Between the Execu-

Increasing D1ft1cult1eS Between tne INecu-

New YORK. May IT. B. McGUire and
Thomas Barry, of the general executive
board of the Knights of Labor, will be in
this city Tuesday next to meet the local
officials of the order with view Of settling
the increasing difficulties in this city and
Brooklyn. Master Workman Powderly has
become alarmed at the condition of affairs
here He does not control the general eX-
ecutive board, but Mcclure aad others Of
that body fear the effect of a public
manifesto with Powderly's name attached

pretty much ~ the all powerful Home Club
desires. As matter of fact crisis IN the
affairs Of the Knights is close at hand.

late. that the rule or ruin policy of District
Assembly ~ has already resulted in dis
crediting him. and that 1t will end in the
disorganizatiOn of the order TO which he is
so firmly attached The 12O00 Knights in
Brooklyn are in open revolt and will pay
no money into the general fund until they
are granted a charter for Montauz Assem-

and composed of the printing
trade, has openly espOused the cause
Of the Brooklyn men. The full significance
of the latters action is not generally un
derstood. 1t was threatened with suspen
sion for it's interference. However, if 1t
went out of the order. it would take with
it the 10000 men belonging to district as

NEW SEA SERPENT.
An Account of n Mysterious Creature
Seen on the African Coast.

An Account of Mysterious Creature
Seen on the African Coast. {.
Count Joachim Pfeil, the German
African explorer, who has just left
Germany rs Governor-General of the
Somali country. gives the following
account of a mysterious creature seen
on the coast of the Ulanga district:
I'VE often saw an animal in the water
which we first believed to be a serpent
from its movements. and from the fact
that only now and then it appeared on
the surface for a few seconds. Once,
when we shot at it, we were surprised
to see it rise out of the water and
fv away. Afterwards we succeed
ed in obtaining one of the curious
creatures. 1t was about the size of
large tame duck, with black plumage
and metallic luster. On its wings we
noticed a few very light yellow feath-
ers. The neck was very long and thin,
and ended in long, pointed beak. at
the edge Of which were two rows OF
sharp teeth. At first sight no head
was visible, and the neck appeared
only to end in beak. The whole
body of the bird is under water while
swimming, only the long neck was
seen. If it was frightened it disap-
peared altogether under the water, or
flew rapidly away. Another peculiar
ity which we noticed was that when
the bird had left the water it lay down
on n bnsh with Outstretched wings to
get dry. The flesh of this creature has
an unpleasant. oily flavor. Pail Mall

PERSONAL SUPERIORITY.
The Unwlsdom of Self Praise as Suggested
by Solomon.

One sign of personal superiority is
lack of any consciousness of personal
superiority, He who says that he is
more of man than his immediate fel-
lows is pretty sure to provoke others
to differ with him at that point. In
deed. he is not likely to be alone in his
opinion, so far 1t is much the same
in the matter of race, or sex, as in that
of other contrasts. The man who in
sists that he is superior to another
man because he belongs to race
which is superior to that mans makes
point against his race superiority,
instead of for it, to begin with. The
other man would, again, only harm his
case by making a counter claim.
1t is always better to evidence superior
ity without claiming it than to claim
superiority without evidencingit. So,
again, if a man boldly claims his
superiority to woman because he is a
man, he proves that he is not manly,
just as surely as woman proves that
she is not womanly if she boldly claims
superiority over man on the score OF
her sex. solomon gave one proof of
his superiority in wisdom when he sug-
gestsd the unwisdom Of self-praise.
"Let another man praise thee ha
said, ''and not thine own mouth; n
stranger, and not thine own lips. "
Superiority is hopelessly lost as soon
as it is foundry its owner-S.-S
